Last Listing description (October 2024)
For the first time in almost 70 years, one of Melbourne's most admired and significant properties is being offered for sale. Since the 1950s, 4 Grant Avenue, Toorak has been one of the most cherished family homes of the Myer retail dynasty - a beautiful private escape that has been the setting for generations of beautiful private moments. And now, the opportunity exists for a new custodian to take the reins and begin a new chapter with what has all the makings of one of the great homes of the future.
Set within 1,600sqm (approx.) of grounds on one of the most prestigious streets in Toorak, this fine estate has long been revered in Melbourne. A circular gravel driveway gives the appropriate sense of occasion on approach to the property: a 1936, Regency-inspired residence by architects Yuncken, Freeman & Griffith, designers of Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Its beautifully manicured grounds with ponds and topiaries, completed in 1937, are the work of Edna Walling, one of Australia's most celebrated and influential landscape artists.
The rich legacy of this storied property is detailed not only in documents and plans held in the architectural archive of the University of Melbourne, but in the home itself. The Heritage-listed facade is elegance incarnate with its white stucco and decorative parapets. Original features such as ornate mouldings, marble fireplaces, sash windows and balustrade-style balconies offer inimitable character throughout.
Two storeys of living space are joined by a grand, curved staircase, over which a skylight adds to the abundance of light found throughout the house. In its current layout, the property features three bathrooms and three bedrooms, with the master offering an expansive ensuite with bathtub, walk- in wardrobes, and balcony views over the flowering, fairytale-like gardens. In previous layouts, the existing building has incorporated six bedrooms and, with the abundance of spaces available, an opportunity exists to expand the residence even further.
Multiple lounges and dining spaces, a family kitchen, a study with panelled walls and the one-time servant's quarters, now an ideal guest wing with kitchenette facilities, all enjoy elevator access. Storage throughout is plentiful and includes a garage and mud room.
Architectural plans for a potential modernisation and extension have also been drawn, marrying this distinguished property's past with a very exciting future. This is an incredibly rare, unprecedented opportunity to own a real piece of Australian history - with endless potential to become one of the most exquisite homes in the country.
